3 months old
Little Miss Callia is three months old. Wow! She is such a joy. Callia is such a content baby, like all my other ones. She only cries when she is tired and hungry. Though, unfortunately she seems a little fussy when we're out - only b/c she's usually tired. Lets see how she has changed over this past month:
- sleeps thru the night from 8:00 until 7:something (usually)
- still will nap in the stroller/carseat
- when at home naps in her own crib (still sleeps with us too worried about Christian waking
her in the morning
- smiles all of the time
- has giggled a couple of times (the first time July4th)
- slobbers up a storm (unlike any of the others, may have to use a bib)
- weighs in at 10lbs 1oz and is 23" long
- grabs at toys hanging
- looks and focuses on everything around her
I love her to bits. Right now (since she's sleeping) I wish that every month really lasted two months since she is growing so quickly. When she was first born I was "thank God" I'm never going to go thru this again - it was hard juggling the four of them. It still is a juggling act but now that Callia is sleeping thru and is pretty predictable it's not quite so overwhelming and I find myself thinking "wow, I can't believe she's our last". I couldn't have any more - I'm at my limit, I know that, but there's just something about babies that's addicting - maybe it's their smell?
Second Chances
Okay, so the boys and I made some double chocolate chip cookies last week and I decided to use my pamper chef pan once again as well as my regular one. Guess what! These cookies turned out way better on the pamper chef pan - in fact on the other pan the cookies burned on the bottom - weird. Anyways, guess I'll keep using the pamper chef pan for cookies too - I'll probably use both unless, like the dbl. choc. chip cookies, one pan is better than the other. Sorry, no comparsion pics. - I was too busy.

Step up to the plate
Okay everyone now is the time to step up to the plate. Most, if not all, have heard that Dr. Morgentaler is going to receive the order of Canada at the end of the month and many people are upset by this. I am, and I've decided to do something about it. I had an email sent to me by some family group last week urging me to write the gov., my pastor at church on Sunday urged us to write a letter and then today I was flipping channels while feeding Callia and there on 100 Huntley Street they were urging people to write. I ignored the first email I received, I guiltily ignored my pastor but today after being urged a third time I decided to do. I emailed the queen (according to the show it can make a difference and has in the past), the prime minister and a bunch of other people. Step up and do it people if you disagree with it. We often complain that we, as Christians, are never heard, that there is a minority out there with a very loud voice - well lets stop complaining to each other and lets do something about it -write - send an email. Let our voice be heard. I know we're all busy. My life is busy I have four kids, my hubby has been away and I've been busy packing for a little trip so I would rather be relaxing then trying to figure out a polite way to say that I disagree with this moron getting the highest civillian award Canada has to offer but I had to. This country needs us to start voicing our opinion. The email doesn't have to be long - it just has to be to the point and polite. You can get a bunch of email addresses from the 100 Huntley Street website - they have a button on the right side of their site that says Dr. Morgentaler (or something like that). Take a minute and do it - you'll feel like you've accomplished something (even more than you have already today).
